A large-scale eco-project is being prepared in Podilsk, in the north of Odesa Oblast. The city was visited by investors from Turkey, representatives of MRZ Consulting, who are considering the possibility of building a waste processing plant in the region.

This was reported in the Podil city community.

It is noted that at the meeting, representatives of local authorities and investors discussed in detail the environmental aspects and waste processing technologies.

The Turkish partners shared their experience in implementing similar projects in their country, demonstrating innovative methods of waste disposal and energy production.
An important outcome of the meeting was the signing of a letter of intent for the construction of the plant. This opens up new opportunities for the community, including reduced pollution, modern waste management technologies and additional jobs.

"The project to build a waste recycling plant is strategically important from both an environmental and economic point of view. The implementation of this project will contribute to the sustainable development of the community, improve the quality of life of its residents, and introduce modern technologies in the field of waste management and energy saving," the statement said.

Recently, it became known that the Swedish government excluded Odesa from the cities selected as pilot territorial communities to participate in a Swedish government project to reform the national waste management system in accordance with European standards.

After that, Deputy Mayor of Odesa Hanna Pozdnyakova stated that the responsibility for Odesa's exclusion from the international program of reforming the waste management system lies with the Department of Ecology of the Odesa Regional State Administration.

On February 5, members of the city council appealed to the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleh Kiper, on this issue.

Meanwhile, the Center for Public Investigations tried to find out how the idea of creating a waste processing plant in Odesa is progressing. The journalists went to the Dalnytsia Quarries landfill and made an investigative film about it.
